![]() ![]() Millar’s script is light, both in story and dialogue, but the writer has filled each compelling chapter of his blockbuster with a sense of fun and excitement. With “Old Man Logan” Millar has crafted one of the most pleasing Wolverine stories in memory. But worry not, Millar finds blood to spill and plenty of it over the course of the eight chapters that make up this fun-filled jaunt across a post-apocalyptic Marvel Universe. This is a tricky place to start a story when the protagonist is so closely associated with ferocity and the writer is so adept at glorifying violence. He wanders off to lead a peaceful life, far from the violence that defined him for the first half of his life. When the event occurs, it is clear why Logan has given up the will to fight and the desire to be the best he is at what he does. Writer Mark Millar waits until the midpoint of “Wolverine: Old Man Logan” to show us what it is to tear down a hero to the point where there is just nothing left but the shell of a man. We don’t understand exactly what has happened to the hero when the story opens. He’s been taken down so many notches that there just aren’t any more notches left. Logan gets pulled back into action against his will in “Old Man Logan”. ![]()
